I am also a Bluenose and a Pollywog, which is frustrating given the number of times I've been through the Straits of Malaca. You couldn't deviate 1 degree south? Seriously?

Gladwell suggests that it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. I'll wager it is less than 50 for you.

I don't know how helpful this is, but, for the record, I'm always full Rich.

Welcome.

I got mine for $13 off Amazon.

There is a new-ish device where you wear an oxygen mask while on a flight simulator and they mess with the O2 percentage at random intervals. It is a much more realistic demonstration of the slow onset of hypoxia. The USN had just started using the partial pressure trainer when I tapped out in...

The last time that I had that view (short final 26R) I was busy demonstrating the maximum demonstrated crosswind for a T-1. T'was a tad breezy, but I'd do it again.

I'll take a stab at making this make sense. If you and I fly from Chicagoland to Nashville to log some X-C, You would fly to BNA and I would fly back. You would log PIC there and I would log PIC back. We would split the rental fee. Instead of me flying the same 51 NM trip over and over, I got to...

The final bill for my last move (WA to FL) was ~$13k. It was a full house of stuff though. I did not lift a thing, just pointed and it went in a box and on the truck. Also, I wasn't paying out of pocket as it was my final .mil move. Moving is expensive. That was a little misleading. My LAST...

I thought everybody in Texas owns a truck?

No, I work for a state agency that also conducts OSHA inspections of its various facilities. I suppose you i world also be a consultant. Just one that is employed by the agency that I am consulting for. I also manage one the facilities that has to be inspected regularly. I, obviously, do not...

I conducted 2 OSHA inspections today. Good times.

I do have experience with a couple of SMSs. It does seem like a small community. Lead group hot!

...and I'm contemplating giving my money (the VA's money really) to another institution of higher learning. Is an M.S. in Aviation Safety worth anything in the real world? I would love to work in aviation again and I have a background running safety programs for a flight department(USN). That...

Yeah...it's always pilot error of some variety. At least that is what I gleaned from my AV Safety School HFacs class.

No, I -- a check? Hell yeah, I can write you a check! I thought you needed money.

I am still not happy about selling my little Grumman. I was happy when I sold my 1959 Rawson though. Maybe it is just a boat thing.

Here is my list. N1115U C-172 M N1954T PA-28 N35683 C-172 I N40ER C-172 N N4141L C-172 G N46203 C-172 I N469CT CT-SW N5208W PA-28-150 N5400J C-172 N N5414L AA-5 N5452D C-172 N N5904U PA-28-140 N6315M C-152U N6585L C-152 N68204 C-172 N N7524R PA-28-140 N93124 C-152

You take it back. Such blasphemy! It is a great piece of, mostly true, commentary about the plight of the forgotten people of aviation. Don't minimize their pain. Controlling is hard. Physics is harder.

Explorers was pretty lame. A Tilt-a-Whril is not gonna fly. I don't care how many aliens are involved. /s
